good morning. continuing to follow breaking news in the boston marathon bombing case. one suspect is dead. another on the run and there is major police activity outside of boston right now. good morning. thank you for joining us on this friday morning april 19th i'm pam cook. >> and good morning, i'm dave clark. >> we do want to continue with our breaking news in the boston bombing case. police sealed off a particular neighborhood just outside of boston. this is happening just hours one of the suspects was killed. we are looking live here and there are quite a few reports

coming in that they are around a particular house possibly a helicopter overhead. ktvu claudine wong is in our newsroom now. we have live pictures there claudine. i know you are watching all of the latest developments. what can you tell us? >> they are focusing in on that area. they also focused in on a reported vehicle that may be heading to the manhattan area. all of this information is coming this. and when you talk about a wide area they are talking about the entire boston metro area from watertown, massachusetts and the surrounding communities it's really a race to keep up with all of the information coming in. you have upwards of 10,000 officers. you have state police you can see on your screen there and you have every agency and feds out there trying to make sure that they track down this man they consider armed and dangerous. the one thing they have asked cameras to do and we expect the video to change is that they have asked the media boston

police specifically they say do not show our tactical positions. we do not want the suspect what we are doing, where we are because it would compromise the safety of the officers. i know from covering these kinds of situations what you want to do is make sure you show people at home watching all over what is happening without certainly compromising the tactical operations of what officers are doing. this has been the scene in boston in that watertown area and that whole area around massachusetts since over night since the shootout began. and this chase and the search went ongoing for those two suspects. let me show you the pictures of the two suspects. this is one of them. the the one that is still alive still on the run. he has been identified as

zohar. >> we now know that man is the 19-year-old suds protect still on the run. someone who is considered armed and dangerous. within the last hour or so, apparelly the suspects uncle who lives in maryland did tell the associated press that the men lived together near boston had been in the united states and this is new information for about ten years so it's been a long time here. there are reports on the blog that the older brother wrote he doesn't have a single american friend, that he doesn't understand them. really from officials out there the main priority at this point is public safety. that is what has caused this massive man hunt.

they believe the man still on the run is a very, very dangerous man. a terrorist and they want to have him stopped immediately. so what they did initially they shut down the watertown area and the neighboring communities around watertown. and then really an hour ago the governor came out, the police commissioner came out and said they are shutting down all of boston metro. they shut down mass transit and schools. the scene you are looking at on your screen ha is a scene that has been playing out all morning long as officers in various neighborhoods go door to door. they try to clear the scene. residents there sheltering in place. obviously a very scary situation for them. if you talk about how we got here. let's talk about last night. these released pictures of the suspects came out at 5:15 last night. after they were released an hour and a half later there was

this convenient store robbery. reports of surveillance video of one of the suspects in that convenience store. an mit police officer responding to disturbance ended up being shot and killed in his car. from there, there was a carjacking of a man who was eventually released and then there was another shootout with police where the first suspect the older brother tsarnaev was killed. somehow his younger brother the 19-year-old escaped that is what brought us to this moment now. again you are taking a look at one of the areas that is being focused on by police as these vehicles come in we have seen people obviously the police officers in heavy armor. one of the things they talked about with this suspect that was killed he had wounds that showed explosives exposure on him and are worried this other suspect 19-year-old will have explosives on him. obviously could be armed. they have been making their way

around the scene in the city and they have actually been detonating other devices. you are taking a look again inside one of the homes. you see a man on the phone there. keep in mind they told everyone to stay inside. you are talking about hundreds of thousands of people and the effected areas around there with mass transit being shut down over a million people effected by this massive man hunt that is under way. at this point all we can do is track all the information that is coming into our newsroom and it is coming in rather quickly and fast and we are trying to figure out which of the areas where there is actually active activity. we are hearing a lot of activity on scanners and the scene. we want to confirm that situation before we tell you anything that is going on. they have said they just put out a warning on twitter saying please don't show any of our tactical operations when they go into a dangerous situation

they want to make sure they don't compromise safety. if we get anything we will tell you right away. we will continue to update you here from the newsroom on the ktvu morning news. reporting live from the newsroom claudine wong. a lot of fast changing things is happening and sal is watching our commute. you have the chopper working. >> yeah we have a fatal crash on hayward. our news chopper 2 is overhead. this reportedly involved a police vehicle or a sheriffs vehicle. and two pedestrians. one has died from injuries and is pronounced dead at the scene. mission at cherry. mission boulevard in both directions has been shut down. chp is there as well. these are live pictures from the ground of the area. you can see no one is getting through. you can see the body is still there on the the ground with a tarp over it. again this is breaking news in

welcome back to the ktvu channel 2 morning news. 6:24 is the time. back to our breaking news out of boston this morning.

we are looking live at one of the transit stations there in the greater boston area. of course that is one of the big stories. a huge lock town basically in place where people are being told to stay inside. all the transit mass transit shut down. taxi service has been shut down as well. police sealing off the neighborhood in watertown just outside of boston. this is happening just hours after we've been reporting one bombing suspect is killed over night and now this massive man hunt for the second suspect law enforcement agencies have confirmed the two suspects are brothers from the russian region of chechnya. claudine wong is monitoring all of the latest information. developments happening from our newsroom 37 we'll have a live update coming up. time now 6:25. back here at home a new investigation of the state auditors office shows the dmv is mishandling the funding of

the personalized license plate program. the extra money charged for personalized license plates in california is supposed to be used to support special causes like the environment or the arts. but the state auditor says the dmv has been collecting millions of there ares less than it should be from that program. >> it could be environmental purposes. or antiterrorism activities and so the funds that are not being collected are not being you know we could be using to fund the activities that we need to. >> the dmv has said keeping track on all the different funds would take a massive computer upgrade that would cost more than the license plate program brings in. organizers with the bottle rock festival in napa have decided to ease the reentry limitations following an uproar from people of already bought tickets. earlier this week organizers had said that people would not be allowed in and out of the festival. now they say people can come and go as they please.

back over to sal. unfortunately a very serious traffic issue near hayward. >> that is right. news chapper 2 is over it. if the guys in the control room can count me out i didn't put it in there. news chopper 2 is over the fatal crash in hayward. it's actually unincorporated hayward. this is a live picture of mission boulevard near cherry way that is closed down. one of the vans you see there is the coroners van. patrol car hit and killed a pedestrian. the news vans are in the area. we'll ask you to stay away. let's move along to the sunol grade. southbound 680 traffic is off to a good start. a few high clouds. a beautiful sunrise over the big city. there is also a little component of a westerly breeze. not much of this system but it will bring temperatures down a few degrees. 60s and 70s. we'll have an update on your weekend forecast in ten minutes. >> thank you, steve.

sounds good. coming up next of course we continue to follow the breaking news out of boston this morning. businesses, schools, public transit all shut down this morning. we're going to have a live report on the man hunt for the second suspect in the marathon bombing case. what we are learning about that suspect and his brother. we're also going to take you live to the opening bell. we'll tell you why sham moo is there on the new york stock exchange.

you this morning. ktvu claudine wong has been on this and gathering all the new information coming into the newsroom. but first let's go to our reporter pam brown. she is in watertown, massachusetts where that bombing suspect we believe is still on the run. pam. >> reporter: that is right. this is still a very active man hunt. we have new information just in the past couple of hours here and we have learned that the two suspects 26-year-old and 19- year-old tsarnaev. we just learned moments ago tamalin tsarnaev who was found dead this morning in the shootout that he had explosives attached to his body as well as a trigger. so we have learned that. and of course the concern now is that the other brother the suspect on the loose right now

j hear could have explosives attached to him. this is unprecedented and how dangerous of a situation we are dealing with right now. taxi cab service has been suspended, amtrak suspended, schools are closed. everything is at a standstill. the man hunt has been going on for several hours and it continues. >> pam brown with the latest from watertown, massachusetts. thank you, pam. there is also new information about the brother suspected in monday's attack and ktvu channel 2 reporter claudine wong is in our newsroom now following all of this with what their father is is now saying about this ongoing search. >> certainly we are getting a lot of information about these

two suspects. we are hearing from family members. but right now we want if make sure we take you back out live. obviously it's still a developing situation out there as well. we are just getting tweets from fbi in massachusetts again warning media asking media to please not show any tactical information or tactical shots when you cover something like this. you can show a shot like this the officers that are standing by. earlier in the morning we did see officers with guns drawn walking toward specific homes. the fear would be if the suspect was in their home and watching tv they would see those pictures and know what the police were doing and that would give them an advantage. certainly that is what they have asked people to do. as this scene plays out across watertown and surrounding communities as they take residents in and out of their homes. making sure everyone is safe. they have said over and over again that right now their

priority is public safety and that is why they have shut down this area. we want to talk about the suspects right now. we are getting a lot of information. two brothers from russia have been in the united states for at least ten years. this is one of the newer pictures that we have received. this is tsarnaev. on the right side of your screen that is another picture of the one on the run. they are brothers. their uncle spoke by phone from russian. they say the son on the right there is the second medical student in the u.s..

such an intelligent boy. quote saying my son is a true angel. we are also hearing from the uncle of these two brothers that uncle actually lives in the u.s. said that those boys called him yesterday. they hadn't talked in a couple of years and said to him forgive me. we are not sure the context of that statement. they are not clear if they were talking of the bombings. the uncle said they didn't know about involvement. here's what the uncle had to say. >> it's crazy. it's not possible. i can't believe it. when i heard this on tv i was thinking who can do this stuff in it's crazy. again that was the uncle of the two suspects reacting this morning saying he got a call from his sister-in-law telling

him that tamalin tsarnaev was dead and the search was on for the other. he said he was going to a family member's house to get more information. this is a live picture of what is happening in watertown, massachusetts. we should tell you we are getting a lot of information online and from social media and varying reports. what we are trying to do for you guys at home is to just make sure we hid l that down -- whittle that down so all of the information we are getting is accurate before we put out other information. there is so much coming across. you have 9,000 to 10,000 officers out there scouring those neighborhoods. obviously the investigation is going on behind the scenes. and so we want to make sure we whittle down as much of that information. make sure it's confirmed and correct before we pass it on to you. at this point the headline is the main piracy if finding -- main priority is finding this

man. tam ralline tsarnaev is dead. he had explosives on him and had a trigger. the concern is the younger brother also has those devices on him. we do know an mi t officer was killed over night. there is a lot of concern of what the 19-year-old still on the loose is capable of. what we will do is continue to monitor all of the information that is coming in. all the new information we are getting about the two suspects. we will of course keep you updated. reporting live from the newsroom claudine wong. >> just to reiterate we are confirming information. there is a lot of information out there that has not been confirmed. stay with us here at ktvu all morning long for continuing coverage.

team coverage working to confirm the accurate information before we bring it to you. any time of day you can two to our channel 2 website ktvu.com just look for the boston bombing tab right on our front page. we are also following breaking news right here in the bay area. the sheriffs deputies hit two pedestrians killing one of them. janine de la vega is there at the accident scene now with details on the crash and the victims. janine. >> reporter: pam, we are here on mission boulevard near cherry. this is an unincorporated area of hayward. and you can see there is a heavy police presence here. you are looking now at the alameda county sheriffs deputies vehicle that you can see is damaged there in the front. now what we were just told by the spokesman of the alameda county sheriffs department is that the sheriffs deputy he was traveling nobody here on mission boulevard when he hit two pedestrians. one man is dead. his body is still laying in the

street with a yellow tarp covering it. the woman is at the hospital. we were told she was hit too but she is expected to be okay. we are also hearing from law enforcement. they say they believe she was intoxicated. they were apparently crossing somewhere near the crosswalk. it's unknown at this point why that sheriffs deputy if he was speeding we don't know that. the chp is handling that part of the investigation. that deputy is a nine year veteran of the department and he is back at the sheriffs department being interviewed by police. here you can see from chopper 2 a view of the scene because right now mission boulevard is closed off from grove to medford so avoid this area. the alameda county sheriffs department told me that they are devastated over this. the officer involved is very shaken up. again he is being interviewed to find out exactly what happened. we know that there was actually three pursuited by three different law enforcement

agencies going on earlier this morning. because this happened at 4:00 a.m.. but we're told that those pursuits were already over. that's what brought the sheriffs deputy to the area. but they are saying the pursuits were already over so they don't believe he was part of that investigation. we will continue to monitor this situation. we know that the investigation unit from the chp will be handling this and continue to follow this on the morning news and mornings on 2. for more on traffic though and how it's being impacted we go to sal. all right janine. i want to go back to news chopper 2 and show you the closure. mission boulevard is closed. starting as far back as medford avenue and all the way down at least past blossom. one streets you can use here is montgomery street and avenue.

they run down past mission boulevard. parallel to this scene. you can go a few ways around this problem. but again mission boulevard. which usually carries quite a bit of traffic. people avoiding 880. this morning it's not an option for you. stay with ktvu we'll have more on this coming up at 6:41 this is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see traffic here is backed up for a typical 20 minute delay. there are no major problems getting into the city. we have been looking at the traffic all over the bay. we talked about the fatal crash. we have been looking at highway 4 coming through concord. a little bit of slow traffic in antioch. 6:42 let's go to steve. >> sal, thank you. sunrise over the big city those of you puttering around the house. take a look a few high clouds. make for a nice sunrise. nice tail end of a front moving through. we get a few high clouds. does that mean anything? yeah a little cooler. not a lot. it will still be in the 60s and

70s. but by the coast even though there is no fog i could find, there is more of a component of a westerly breeze. 40s and 50s. temperatures kind of stuck. san francisco did hit 70 yesterday. i backed it off a little bit. 66 degrees today. it's 49 and a few high clouds here. but i think the westerly breeze that system moving into the north is ushered in a little bit cooler pattern. remember water temps are really cold. upper 40s. it wouldn't take much to get fog going. system will stay into the pacific northwest. still mild for some. nice for others. but that west breeze i think a little cooler coast and bay. by sunday and early next week temperatures will come up. a little cool down today and tomorrow. mostly sunny. cooler coast and bay. still warm inlapped. probably not as warm as yesterday. it will be close. so away from the coast 70s to near 80 degrees. closer to it 60s and 70s. not much change. after that sunny side up and

warm, warmer and really warm. time now 6:43. a big news day. a lot happening from boston. the breaking news in boston marathon bombing case. we told you one suspect is dead. another one is on the loose. what we now know about the two suspects. good morning. san mateo bridge traffic is moving along pretty well heading up to the foster city side from hayward. we'll tell you more about the morning commute and the bay area weather.

welcome back. time now 6:46. these are pictures from watertown, massachusetts right now. the breaking news in the boston marathon bombing case during the night again. these are live pictures. one suspect was killed, another one is still on the run at this very moment after a very violent night in the city outside of boston. and there is a lot of police activity in and around the boston area as we're speaking to you now. as wii been telling -- as we've been telling you since 4:30 this morning the two suspects in the boston marathon bombing case are brothers. brian flores talked with an expert and he reminds us about the nature of the ongoing conflict in chechnya. >> reporter: yeah no question dave and no question this is a

very sensitive situation. for many of us when we talk about terrorism, most of the focus has been on the middle east and not on this particular region in russia. while a motive remaps unclear the two suspects are in the area which has been plagued in the past by islamic insurgencies. if it turns out the two suspects are linked to those, it would link the first time the russian conflict has spread to the west. it's unclear if they are associated with any insurgent group. what do we know about chechnya? it has over a million people. 95% are ethnic chechens. the conflict in chechnya began in 1994 as a separate war and quickly turned into islamic insurgencies vowing to create an independent state. over the years they have refrained from attacks outside of the region but there have been attacks in russia where

129 hostages died. a terrorism expert we spoke with said it's premature to determine at this point any connections but says nothing can be ruled out. >> they do have transnational links. there are terrorist elements in chechnya that have links to al qaeda. there are others which don't. there are islamist inspired groups in chechnya. but there is also a really, really significant mafia presence. you couldn't for example discount this is out source. >> our expert also says this is not a time for people to panic. in fact he praises the work done by law enforcement saying it's a way that identify the type of weapon used to the identifying the suspects was textbook. coming up on mornings on 2 we'll delve deeper into the suspects. back to you at the desk. >> thank you. here's a quick look at the
